Hi Brad,

TOPIC 1: 
-----------
"StackOverflowError" - this is what happened with the current Route 2 calling 
Route 1 for LARGE # OF PAGES. It was not about the data, because the body is 
not getting appended and is always limited to one page (at least in most cases).

JVM/stack-size exploded around about 200 calls to the loop :) But yeah a good 
learning of what not to do :) Moved the Loop outside the route completely and 
based on Route 2 response, triggered the Route 1 again. 

Route 1 to Route 2 linkage was done only for modularization purpose. 

TOPIC 2:
----------
Very interesting point you have raised here about using POJO and not 
Processors. I actually wanted to know is there some explanation of what you 
said in CAMEL IN ACTION book. Just got hand of hard-copy and see if I can 
understand that better. 

I did use split and bean binding, but not sure if that is the right POJO 
approach? I guess I should use @ExchangeProperty 
        - public List<Message> splitMessage(@Body Object body, Exchange 
exchange)

Current use cases which processor is doing: 
- set / get exchange headers (multiple)
- set / get camel exchange property (so far single)
        - saw annotation ExchangeProperty, but it has String type return value. 
Whereas on exchange we are setting Objects. 

Regards,
Arpit.

Have you looked at splitter/tokenizer/streaming for this instead of having
route 1 call route 2 which calls route 1?  Interesting route setup as I've
never used routes in a recursive fashion like that. When using direct the
return doesn't happen until the end of the last route in the chain.  In
this case it appears that you are continually delaying the return from the
route via this iterative approach.  I'd have to check that via testing to
see what's really happening in that case but I've never done it like that
and would assume it would eventually run out of memory for large amounts of
data.  As far as I know you can't just erase the history though you could
set the body to null or empty string.  But I wouldn't do that.

Just unmarshal your data and run it through the splitter in a streaming
fashion.  If you don't need to process these in serial order you could then
drop them on a SEDA queue with multiple consumer threads. You can then also
set the queue size to limit how many documents are coming through at a time.

Also, unless you have a compelling reason don't use Processors as they
couple you to the framework. Just use a POJO and let Camel use reflection
to select the correct method for processing or use annotations.  As a
general rule of thumb I use, if you don't know exactly why you need to use
a Processor you don't need to use it.
